Serena
Williams inflicted more misery on her old adversary Maria Sharapova with a
ruthless Wimbledon semi-final victory on Centre Court.
World
number one Williams has become Sharapova's nemesis since losing twice to the
Russian in 2004 - one of which came in the final on the famous grass court at
Wimbledon.
Sharapova
was unable to claim a first victory over the all-conquering American in 11
years, failing to rise to the occasion and enduring more troubles on serve as
she was beaten 6-2 6-4 to stretch her losing streak against the top seed to 17
matches.
Williams
will be a strong favourite to beat surprise package Garbine Muguruza when she
goes in search of a sixth Wimbledon title on Saturday.
The
legendary 33-year-old will also complete a second 'Serena Slam' - holding all
four grand slam titles - if she prevails yet again this weekend and would head
into the US Open in the hunt for her first calendar Grand Slam
